Have You Ever Visited the Redwood Forest?

The photo is me in the John Muir Woods of Northern California. Have you ever visited the Redwood National Park OR John Muir Woods? Did you know that there were at one time, approximately 2 million acres of forests there in Northern California, with many acres of Redwood trees? Many of these trees were cut down and used to build houses in San Francisco during the Gold Rush, according to what the tour guide told us. Now only a comparatively small amount of these trees are left. The Redwood trees are now protected on public land, as part of the National Monument legislation. I was recently informed however, that the redwood trees are not protected on private land and are still being cut down. Google Redwood National Park or John Muir Woods National Monument for more information.
